InChI Session at Chicago ACS 21 Aug 2022
The InChI Trust has organized a full day session at the ACS national meeting in Chicago Aug 21-25:
InChI in the Wild:
Celebrating Over 20 years of InChI Development in Memory of InChI Developer Igor Pletnev
Our session will be held on Sunday Aug 21, 2022 at the Henry Clarke – Marriott Marquis Chicago.
Welcome to InChI
The International Chemical Identifier, or InChI, is a character string generated by computer algorithm, originally developed by the International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry (IUPAC). IUPAC Division VIII established the InChI Subcommittee to develop the scientific rules for representing defined chemical structures. For specific areas of chemical structures (tautomers, inorganics, etc.), the Subcommittee has established a number of Working Groups. Most of the conceptual design and direction is decided by the IUPAC Working Groups which are made up of experts in the associated fields. The Working Groups are extending the standard for areas of chemistry that are not yet handled by InChI. More information on each of the Working Groups is available here.
The IUPAC InChI algorithm and formatting standard are used for describing and storing chemical structures. The InChI algorithm turns chemical structures into unique machine and non-human readable strings of information. The associated InChI software components are non-proprietary and open source.

July 1, 2022: Research Assistant/Associate - Software Development Position Open
Professor Dr. Sonja Herres-Pawlis, Institute of Inorganic Chemistry at RWTH Aachen University, has announced an open Reseach Assisstant position. The work will include further development of the IUPAC International Chemical Identifier (InChI), documentation of the programming developments and testing of extensions. The research group investigates topics in bioinorganic chemistry, sustainable polymerization catalysis, coordination chemistry and catalytic applications.

June 16, 2022: The InChI Trust Session at the Fall 2022 ACS Meeting in Chicago
The InChI Trust has set up an all day session at the August 2022 ACS Meeting in Chicago. The session will cover the InChI standard as well as many extensions to the standard that are under development. The details of the session can be found on this webpage.
June 9, 2022: InChI Technical Sessions in Cambridge UK June 17-19
Technical sessions are being held in personal and virtually on June 17-19 for several if the extension projects for the InChI Standard. The topics to be covered include: organometallics and to make progress toward adding extended stereochemistry and tautomers.
See the full agenda at: https://www.inchi-trust.org/june-2022-technical-sessions/.
InChI OUTREACH
InChI OUTREACH will be published on a regular basis every 2 to 3 months. We will include the latest news, topics of interest, discussions on various aspects of InChI. Click on the image below of the first issue to view and download it.

Where are InChI and InChI Key Used?
InChI is used by most of the large chemical databases and software applications handling many millions of chemical structures.
InChI enables the linking and interlinking of chemistry and chemical structures on the web and computer platforms. By enhancing the discoverability of chemical structures, InChI advances the ‘FAIR Guiding Principles for scientific data management and stewardship’. FAIR was published in 2016 to provide guidelines to improve the Findability, Accessibility, Interoperability, and Reuse of digital assets. InChI provides ‘Findability’ for chemical structures and extends Interoperability between platforms, both of which foster Accessibility and Reuse!
Development continues by a broad community of scientists and developers, much of which is contributed by our sponsors and supporters. Contact any of us at the InChI Trust for more information or with any questions.
The InChI Trust is a UK charity that works to implement the rules developed and approved by IUPAC through the Working Groups. The Trust also promotes the use of the IUPAC InChI algorithm. InChI with its associated InChIKey was developed as a non-proprietary international standard and has just celebrated its sixteenth anniversary. The Trust aims to develop and improve on the current InChI standard, further expanding its use with extended chemical and computational capabilities.
About us: WHO ARE WE ?
The diverse group of scientists and developers that contribute to the InChI projects come from industry, academia and government. They participate in one or more of the following groups:
